Text: “And this is the record that God hath
given us eternal life, and this life is in his son. He that hath the son hath
life....” 1 John 5:11-12
A record is a
documentation of series of events that took place. You don’t record what did
not happen. God has given us eternal life. This is what the record of heaven
says. It not something that will happen when we get to heaven. We have eternal
life already. I want you to note that eternal life is not the same as “long
life” or life forever. Eternal life simply means the life of God. 1
John 5:13 says “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name
of the son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life...”
“...THAT YE MAY KNOW...” Many of us don’t know; some are working very hard to
have eternal life. There is nothing you can do in the natural to have eternal
life. God has given us his very life. What an awesome privilege that we have.
We can boldly say today that the life of God is in us. What we have is not just
the human life; we have the God life; Partakers of the divine nature.
The life of God is
superior to failure. The life is God is superior to sickness. The life of God
is beyond every curse. It’s high time we become so conscious of the life of God
inside us. We are not limited to the human life. We have a higher life
available to us.
We function with the
life of God as we consciously acknowledge the life of God in us and we begin to
declare it so over our lives. I heard the testimony of a dear daughter of Zion.
She became terribly sick; at a point she began to ask God to take her life. God
spoke back to her that it was impossible for her to die. The Spirit of God
ministered to her that she had declared life over herself for so long and that
will not allow her to die. She was told that for her to die she will have to
start declaring death over herself for a period. This is how it works. You have
to start declaring life over your body, life over your family, life over your
business etc.
PRAYER:
I declare in the name of Jesus that the life of
God is working in me and functioning through me.
